Electra/Persona review: A masterclass in stage acting from Cate Blanchett and Nina Hoss
From: Radio Times | Date: 9/3/2026
Ultimately, Blanchett and Hoss delivered a performance for the ages – but the same couldn't be said for the script. A full performance of Benedict Andrews's Electra or Persona would feel like a more striking production, giving each script more room to breathe.

Next to Normal review: A nuanced take on mental health with a powerful rock soundtrack
From: RadioTimes | Date: 6/28/2024
In short, no matter your own backgrounds or experiences with mental health or grief, this story of an emotionally fraught family on the precipice of danger and longing for something normal (or even just Next to Normal) is sure to deliver an emotional gut punch.
